Bongs at 150: Big Ben-sized facts

Posted by General Leon in News on July 11, 2009

The great bell of the Palace of Westminster’s clock chimed for the first time on 11 July 1859.

Its nickname, Big Ben, proved so popular that it was used for the whole clock, while the sound of the bell itself has been used in broadcasting for decades.

To celebrate 150 years of the bongs, BBC News presents six facts about Big Ben.

US television shows that started on BBC

Posted by General Leon in Me on April 25, 2009

Can modern-day America really claim absolute autonomy from what was once our Motherland … especially when it comes to entertainment?

Try as we might, we can’t seem to escape the desire to replicate the success of our UK brethren. After all imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the UK has spawned some of television’s greatest shows. A few plot twists and character name changes may have occurred, but we must give props where props are due.

So, here are some films (like State of Play) and television shows (like the cult classic Absolutely Fabulous) that celebrate the spirit of unity, collaboration, and entertainment for all!

See the list after the jump!

As if surrounded by a celestial halo, space shuttle Discovery made its way towards the expansive confines of NASA Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building following a move from its processing hangar on Sept. 9, 2010. A metal sling will be carefully connected to the spacecraft and then operators will hoist it from transfer aisle to the high reaches of the 52-story building before lowering it into place beside the external fuel tank and twin solid rocket boosters. Crews then will connect the spacecraft giving the stack its familiar launch day form. Discovery is targeted to liftoff on the 11-day STS-133 mission on Nov. 1 at 4:40 p.m. EDT.
